Commonwealth Edison Co. was ordered to refund about $250 million to its 
current and former ratepayers for illegal rates collected for cost overruns 
on a nuclear power plant.  The refund was about $55 million more than 
previously ordered by the Illinois Commerce Commission and trade groups 
said it may be the largest ever required of a state or local utility. 
State court Judge Richard Curry ordered Edison to make average refunds of 
about $45 to $50 each to Edison customers who have received electric service 
since April 1986, including about two million customers who have moved 
during that period. Judge Curry ordered the refunds to begin Feb. 1 and said 
that he wouldn't entertain any appeals or other attempts to block his order 
by Commonwealth Edison. ``The refund pool...may not be held hostage 
through another round of appeals,'' Judge Curry said. Commonwealth Edison 
said it is already appealing the underlying commission order and is 
considering appealing Judge Curry's order. The exact amount of the refund 
will be determined next year based on actual collections made until Dec. 31 
of this year. Commonwealth Edison said the ruling could force it to slash 
its 1989 earnings by $1.55 a share. For 1988, Commonwealth Edison reported 
earnings of $737.5 million, or $3.01 a share. A Commonwealth Edison 
spokesman said that tracking down the two million customers whose addresses 
have changed during the past 3 1/2 years would be ``an administrative 
nightmare.'' In New York Stock Exchange composite trading yesterday, 
Commonwealth Edison closed at $38.375, down 12.5 cents. The $2.5 billion 
Byron 1 plant near Rockford, Ill., was completed in 1985. In a disputed 
1985 ruling, the Commerce Commission said Commonwealth Edison could raise 
its electricity rates by $49 million to pay for the plant. But state courts 
upheld a challenge by consumer groups to the commission's rate increase and 
found the rates illegal. The Illinois Supreme Court ordered the commission 
to audit Commonwealth Edison's construction expenses and refund any 
unreasonable expenses. The utility has been collecting for the plant's 
construction cost from its 3.1 million customers subject to a refund since 
1986. In August, the commission ruled that between $190 million and $195 
million of the plant's construction cost was unreasonable and should be 
refunded, plus interest. In his ruling, Judge Curry added an additional $55 
million to the commission's calculations. Last month, Judge Curry set the 
interest rate on the refund at 9%. Commonwealth Edison now faces an 
additional court-ordered refund on its summer/winter rate differential 
collections that the Illinois Appellate Court has estimated at $140 million. 
And consumer groups hope that Judge Curry's Byron 1 order may set a 
precedent for a second nuclear rate case involving Commonwealth Edison's 
Braidwood 2 plant. Commonwealth Edison is seeking about $245 million in rate 
increases to pay for Braidwood 2. The commission is expected to rule on the 
Braidwood 2 case by year end. Last year Commonwealth Edison had to refund 
$72.7 million for poor performance of its LaSalle I nuclear plant.
